Abstract
Description
- 1. Technical Field
- The present disclosure relates to cover assembly, and particularly, to an electronic device using a cover assembly.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- A typical electronic device includes a housing, an antenna, and a plurality of keys. The antenna is usually assembled to the housing by adhesion or threaded connection. The keys are latched to the housing. However, the antenna and the keys may obtain an inner room of the housing, therefore, the electronic device may have a large volume to receive the antenna and the keys. Furthermore, the antenna is assembled in the housing, it is inconvenient to repair when the antenna is damaged.
- Therefore, there is room for improvement within the art.
- Many aspects of the cover assembly and electronic device using the same can be better understood with reference to the following figures. The components in the figures are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the cover assembly and electronic device using the same. Moreover, in the drawings like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
-
FIG. 1 is an isometric view of an exemplary embodiment of an electronic device. -
FIG. 2 is an exploded, isometric view of an exemplary embodiment of a cover assembly. -
FIG. 3 is an exploded, isometric view of the cover assembly, but shown from another angle. -
FIG. 4 is an assembled view of the cover assembly shown inFIG. 2 . -
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the cover assembly shown inFIG. 4 , taken along line V-V. - The present invention discloses a cover assembly used for electronic devices, such as mobile phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs).
FIG. 1 shows an exemplaryelectronic device 100 including amain body 20 and acover assembly 10. Thecover assembly 10 includes acover body 12, afunction key 14, anantenna 16, and adecorative sheet 18. Thefunction key 14 and theantenna 16 are assembled to thecover body 12. - Referring to
FIG. 2 andFIG. 3 , thecover body 12 includes anend wall 122 and aperipheral wall 124. Theend wall 122 and theperipheral wall 124 cooperatively define areceiving slot 126. Theend wall 122 defines one or more throughholes 1222 and anopening 1224. Anassembly slot 1226 is defined in theend wall 122 opposite to thereceiving slot 126. Thedecorative sheet 18 is received in theassembly slot 1226. Thedecorative sheet 18 defines acable hole 182 aligning with theopening 1224. Theperipheral wall 124 defines anassembly hole 1242. Alatching element 1244 is positioned on an inner surface of theperipheral wall 124. Twoarms 128 extend from theend wall 122 facing to each other. Eacharm 128 defines a threadedhole 1282. - The
function key 14 includes alatching plate 142 and apress portion 144 positioned on thelatching plate 142. Thelatching plate 142 defines aslot 1422 passing therethrough. Thelatching element 1244 latches to theslot 1422 for fixing thefunction key 14 to thecover body 12. - The
antenna 16 includes amain portion 162 and aradiator 164 covering on themain portion 162. One or morehot melting posts 1622 are positioned on theradiator 164. Thehot melting posts 1622 can be inserted into corresponding throughholes 1222, and theantenna 16 fixed to thecover body 12 by hot melting. - Referring to
FIG. 4 andFIG. 5 , in assembly, thefunction key 14 is received in thereceiving slot 126, and thepress portion 144 extends from theassembly hole 1242. When thelatching plate 142 resists theperipheral wall 124, thelatching element 1244 is latched into theslot 1422. Therefore, thefunction key 14 is fixed on thecover body 12. Theantenna 16 is placed into thereceiving slot 126 and thehot melting posts 1622 are inserted into the throughholes 1222. Thehot melting posts 1622 are secured to thecover body 12 after hot melting. Therefore, theantenna 16 is fixed to thecover body 12 and resists thefunction key 14. Thefunction key 14 is sandwiched between theantenna 16 and thecover body 12. - The
decorative sheet 18 is placed in theassembly slot 1226 and adhered to theend wall 122. Then, two bolts (not shown) are provided, the bolts are threaded into the threadedhole 1282 and connect to themain body 20. Therefore, thecover assembly 10 is assembled to the main body to form theelectronic device 100. If theantenna 16 is damaged, it is convenient to detach the antenna from themain body 20. - It should be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present embodiments have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structures and functions of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the present disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
